What stresses you out the quickest?

What stresses me out the quickest is money. Things are very tight right now and my husband and I trying our best to cut back here and there but there is always something. I am currently a temp and I hope to be hired one day for full time work. My husband has a full time job but it is not that great and he is trying his hardest to find something better because of a lot of drama especially with paychecks. I have not only the regular stuff but also trying to pay off all my credit cards which all together total nearly $3600. I just hope to get to a point where we won't be stressing and getting sick over bills and money.

My daughter is a lot like yours. Some days it seems like every little thing especially when she is getting tired. Thank goodness she has gotten good about going to bed lately. Mostly with my kids it is the constant bickering that drives me nuts. They seem to always be on each others cases about something.

I think finances, hectic work schedules and illness in the family cause the most stress for me. My parents are getting older and their health problems really concern me - the day will come when we need to make decisions as to their welfare. Having enough money to pay bills now and in the future as we get to retirement age is a concern with the way things are in our economy. And being overworked with little recreation time just sets you up for stress big time.

Yes I think I have to agree with you there, the crying and the whinging over nothing drives me mental. I am probably classed as a stresshead anyway, the tiniest of worries has me full blown stressed!

My biggest stress with children (and no, I don't have any, but I have a 7 year old half-sister that I spend a lot of time with & babysit often) is when she throws a tantrum or when she's crabby! Ugh! I really can't handle it. Especially when we're at the mall or the movies and she just.. decides not to behave even though I'm trying to get her to have fun! It's frustrating!

Crying kids have never bothered me..not much about kids actually stresses me out, but whining grates on my nerves a bit. I don't like whiny voices or kids that do the whining thing when they get told no about something.

My kids aren't really criers. They are screamers. That gets to me. I just get tired of breaking up their fights. My middle one loves to make the younger one scream. She will do things on purpose that she knows will upset him. Then once she gets him screaming she'll keep making comments or touching him and make him scream even louder. I can't stand that they purposely make each other scream. I guess I should expect it, they are kids and brothers and sisters fight. I just hope that they outgrow it soon!

Dealing with a lot of unreasonable little beings with minds of their own can definitely be stressful. Mine are older though and what stresses me most now, probably, is being pushed. When I say no, don't nag me, don't pester me, don't push. grrrrrrr...

For me it is the nagging that my oldest does. If she gets in her mind that she is going to get something, she will ask about it every five minutes until she finally gets her way. The other day it was snow cream. I was trying to get a few things done and I had told the children that when I got done I would make them a big bowl of snow cream. So, then every five minutes it was "Mommy, when are you going to make the snow cream." I would respond, "In a few minutes." This went on for long enough that I thought I was going to have to pull my hair out. It was driving me insane and stressing me out.

Hi kats meow: I think that I can be patient when a kid is crying but what i hate and stress me the most is to see a kid screaming at e, and telling me what i have to do, that really annoys me and i can tell you that i have seen this behaviour in some kids. It's just horrible. Thanks for asking me this question kats meow. Hope you are having a nice day. Keep mylotting. Take good care of you. -Alvaro.

I think exams stress me the most out. I normally do well on them but still there's always worry with me. Even if I study until I drop. I just fear that I may be at a crucial moment and my brain will go blank, devoid of any ability to recall. Also, hearing little kids scream in public places gets on my nerves. It never does outside of a public place oddly enough but its just something about kids screaming and causing havoc in a public place that grinds on my nerves. I am sure there are other things that I can think of but those two come to mind easily.

I totally agree! I have 2 sons--a 2-year-old and a 10-month old. They are quite a handful already. I cannot even begin to ponder how you are able to handle 5 kids when I am having a tough time with mere 2 kids of my own. My babies mean the world to me and they are the sweetest little bundles in the world; but there are lots of times that I am having quite a tough time handling house chores and handling kids altogether; that goes worse whenever they get sick and I get so stressed out and worried of their condition. I do not have any nanny and it is hard to keep nannies at this time. Yes, babies cry almost all of the time--their language or means of communication. I handle these stressors by being positive and handling stuff with a smile. I also cry a lot--it helps to release negative pent-up emotions. I also do things that I love even when I am at home--so as to pamper yourself. I don't get to go out that much as I also work online--posting at mylot is a great therapy as well. You are definitely not alone in this. A lot of moms--like me--experience that as well. We love our kids as they mean the world to us---it's just that there are things like this that also cause us to be stressed out but we just have to handle it in a healthy manner. Support from family and peers is greatly appreciated at all times. We all need a breath of fresh air once in a while. A happy person---will most likely be a great mom! Learn to love yourself first---and the world will beckon--and you will be a wonderful mom!--as you already are--

Hi! well i am grown up man of age 23 but unmarried so no kids still...lol.. I can make myself stress free by doing things which I love to do like listening music or going out with friends or doing something crazy. I think regarding kids it is not so easy to handle them as they don't have much understanding we will need to make them understand the matter practically even then it becomes difficult to tackle the conditions. Well I am thinking not to have more than one kid after my marriage and that also after many years of my marriage so that i can enjoy my life with my partner very well first then to think for the kid and take care of kid well and make a good citizen.

I am a SAHM of 6. The thing that stresses me the most is the "I don't know or I didn't do it". It seems whenever someone doesnt want to clean up or deal with anything that is the easiest answer. It just about always sends me into a tailspin and then I am the one losing it. I have tried to change it but nothing so far has worked. By the time hubby gets home I am yelling and screaming and the kids are pissed so hubby starts yelling. He doesn't get that I need him to come in and be the calm one so I can have a break...ugh I better just end here before I keep going and end up stressed again..lol

Things that stress me out usually have to do with finances. if I am in financial trouble of some kind, or something stupid happens to drain our finances, I am super-stressed. my husband was not very good financially when I met him, but after he saw what I was able to do with a very little money, he smartened right up, and now there's no financial stress.

The thing that stresses me out the most is when I am doing some important work and someone comes and disturbs me by making loud noises and then I cant concentrate for sometime is what stressesme out

hello kats, What stresses me with kids...ugh!!! when they started to fight(word fight) and then,the youngest will cry. This really gives me headache. My kids were grown ups(15,13 and 11) They usually fight over movies or tv series...or even teasing each other that makes the other one get annoyed. Ugh...my day always starts with their noise and ended with their fightings. Sometimes i just ignore them,i locked my room and stayed there until they're done. But sometimes the youngest will seek for me when he knows he can't fight over his two older siblings. I thought when my kids grown up,it will lessen my stress,but...i'm totally wrong....they get worst when they were still toddlers Happy weekend dear

The things that stresses me are: 1.) When my toddler almost run out of his needs (like diapers, milk, food, etc.) then I cannot find money yet to replinish them. 2.) When I am indebted & the due is fast approaching & their is no money yet to pay them for their is no salary yet. 3.) When my parents get sick because I am the one take care of them so I have to leave for work & leave my son behind with the caregiver. I think for now those are that stresses me the most.

I think disagreeable noise easily annoys me, then all other little things start irritating me. It helps trigger stress in me. But when I begin to relax and clear my mind, then I'm back to normal. One more thing that stresses me is when I am being told to do several tasks at the same time in an unpleasant way. I am really used to multitasking and I do it well. But when I am being forced or pressured especially in a very rude way, I really heat up.
